Chapter 439 Gao Shadou
A week later, Gao Yuliang's signed article was published in the People's Daily, urging people to accelerate the construction of a strong economic province and a beautiful Zhongjiang, and to steadily promote high-quality and upward development.
In his article, he elaborated on the necessity of high-quality development and the importance of building economic development zones and connecting the central and western regions, and refuted the idea of some officials to develop the real estate economy for the sake of GDP.
Although the article did not mention Sha Ruijin's intention to develop the real estate economy, it still cited the wrong idea that the Zhongjiang Provincial Party Committee was about to cooperate with Hengda and develop the real estate economy on a large scale regardless of economic realities.
Gao Yuliang's article has been revised and verified by many experts and is of very high quality. It can almost serve as a guiding document for the development of a province.
Even Qi Tongwei was deeply impressed after seeing it, and felt that Teacher Gao had never given up learning over the years.
With this article as a starting point, Qi Tongwei then asked his teacher Professor Huang to comment on the article. Under the leadership of Professor Huang, a number of economic experts discussed it.
Soon this article was handed over to the leadership through the ZY Policy Research Office.
"This article actively implements the strategy of westward industrial relocation proposed by ZY, which can effectively boost the national economic linkage and at the same time has an innovative spirit. Gao Yuliang, who wrote this article, has a high theoretical level." An expert from the Policy Research Office praised.
"Not only that, judging from the content, this is an experienced reformer."
A group of experts from the Policy Research Office spoke highly of Gao Yuliang. The leader was also very satisfied after reading it, but then he frowned.
Through the article, he judged that the leadership team of Zhongjiang Province was not united, and that the governing ideas of Governor Gao Yuliang and Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin were not consistent.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely support the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin. After all, the provincial party secretary is the top leader. But this time is different. It concerns the national strategy for the central and western regions, so he has to be careful.
He was also very dissatisfied with Sha Ruijin's governing ideas, and when he thought of this, he came up with an idea.
On the other hand, Sha Ruijin was very angry after reading Gao Yuliang's signed article, thinking that he was bringing up the internal conflicts of Zhongjiang Province and not uniting the team.
So he decided to convene a provincial party committee standing committee the next day, with the aim of, firstly, forcing through the cooperation with Hengda, and secondly, replacing the director of the provincial finance department.
The most important thing is the cooperation with Hengda. This project is worth more than 100 billion yuan, which can drive the rapid development of many industries in Zhongjiang. The Hengda Song and Dance Troupe is also unique.
When he thought of the troupe's graceful dancers who could strike any pose, he felt extremely satisfied and really wanted to enjoy it again.
The next day, at 9 a.m., Zhongjiang Province held a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on time.
"Comrades, today we are convening a provincial party committee standing committee meeting. There are two topics for the meeting. One is to discuss cooperation with Hengda, and the other is the appointment of the director of the provincial finance department."
Sha Ruijin glanced at Gao Yuliang and continued, "Some of our comrades are not very capable at work but are very good at putting labels on others. It sounds like it makes sense, but it is simply not feasible in practice.
Right now, Zhongjiang's economy is not even among the top ten in the country. Every time the national economic ranking comes out, I feel embarrassed.
This cooperation with Hengda will indirectly create tens of thousands of jobs, greatly promote the economic development of our province and increase GDP.
Everyone can shout slogans and make big promises, but we still have to be down-to-earth in developing the economy. Otherwise, what is the difference between this and the past practice of falsely reporting a yield of tens of thousands of kilograms per acre of land? "
As soon as Sha Ruijin said this, everyone looked at Gao Yuliang to see how he would fight back. Sha Ruijin was really putting too much of a accusation on Gao Yuliang.
Gao Yuliang took a sip of water and said slowly, "Secretary Ruijin said that Zhongjiang's economy cannot enter the top ten in the country. This is indeed my fault as the governor. I have been in office for nearly a year and have only moved up two places. The progress is not obvious enough.
I have not been in Zhongjiang for long, so I don’t have a thorough understanding of the past, and there may be some deviations. Can any comrade tell me why Zhongjiang’s economy has been stagnant or even regressing since six years ago? "
Gao Yuliang almost pointed at Sha Ruijin's nose and said, "My ability is not good enough, I only improved by two places.
You are really good. Since you became the governor, you have not only failed to make progress but have actually regressed. You should be ashamed of yourself."
"Governor Yuliang, that's not how you calculate the economic accounts. The past few years have been an adjustment to the economy, and the slowdown in development is only natural," retorted Sha Ruijin's lackey, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Huang Guangqian.
“Oh, it turns out to be an economic adjustment. It seems that I, as the governor, have failed in my duty.
Comrade Guangqian has not only made great progress in the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection within less than a year of taking office, but has also gained a thorough understanding of the province's economy, which is worthy of praise." Gao Yuliang's words almost made some members of the Standing Committee laugh out loud.
"Okay, today we are not here to discuss the economic ranking issue. What do you think about cooperating with Hengda?" Sha Ruijin felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
"I agree with this cooperation. Other methods are just empty promises. It is hard to say whether we can get the benefits or not. What we actually eat is the most real thing." The full-time deputy secretary Li Changyou gave Sha Ruijin a lot of face.
"I think we can implement both projects." This is the neutral party.
Everyone was discussing it, and only three people fully supported Gao Yuliang, plus Gao Yuliang himself, who only had four votes. On the contrary, Sha Ruijin had worked in Zhongjiang for many years, and many people were his confidants.
Of the 13 provincial party committee standing committee members, six voted in favor of Sha Ruijin, four voted in favor of Gao Yuliang, and three voted neutrally.
Faced with such a result, Gao Yuliang did not show much surprise.
However, it was somewhat beyond his expectations that the three originally wavering neutral votes did not vote in favor of Sha Ruijin.
Such a major decision was not passed with an overwhelming majority, which made Sha Ruijin look a little ugly.
But who is our Secretary Sha? He didn't care about the unspoken rules at all and said directly: "The minority obeys the majority, and the cooperation with Hengda is approved."
"I respect the decision of the provincial party committee, but I still reserve my own opinion." Gao Yuliang looked serious. He believed that the central government would not ignore it and allow Sha Ruijin to do such a thing.
Sha Ruijin ignored Gao Yuliang and directly announced to move on to the next topic.
"Comrade Li Shuhua, the current director of the Provincial Department of Finance, has outstanding work ability and has worked at the department-level for many years. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, I solemnly recommend him to serve as the vice chairman of the Provincial CPPCC..." It is obvious that Sha Ruijin intends to transfer Li Shuhua from his current position.
How could Gao Yuliang not understand his thoughts?
Other positions are easy to handle, but the position of Director of the Finance Department must be decided by his opinion, and no one else will be able to do it.
Therefore, before Sha Ruijin finished speaking, he interrupted and said, "I fully agree with Secretary Ruijin's opinion. Comrade Shuhua is indeed outstanding and has excellent work ability.
He has worked hard for many years in this position at the department level and has made great contributions. He should be given a new position. I fully agree with Secretary Ruijin's proposal to let him take on the post of provincial CPPCC concurrently."
Sha Ruijin was very dissatisfied with Gao Yuliang for interrupting him, and signaled the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Huang Guangqian to step forward and refute.
Huang Guangqian, as Sha Ruijin's lackey, immediately retorted: "Governor Yuliang, I think a person's energy is limited after all, and the CPPCC and financial work are extremely important, so it's better to focus on them."
Facing Huang Guangqian's questioning, Gao Yuliang simply responded calmly: "Comrade Guangqian is not without reason, it is indeed not a good idea to hold concurrent posts.
Minister Zhang, you are the Organization Minister of Zhongjiang, so you naturally know the specific circumstances of cadres holding concurrent positions best.
According to Comrade Guangqian's suggestion, we should not have to hold concurrent posts, so that everyone can perform their duties and concentrate on their own work. "
In Gao Yuliang's eyes, Huang Guangqian was no match at all.
After Gao Yuliang finished speaking, the Standing Committee members present looked at Huang Guangqian with dissatisfaction. If they followed his words, many people present would have to resign from their positions.
